Thanks, Maddie. Will update my site Directory. Pity that we are still loosing more than we gain.

We’ve finally made it to the new CL list Cherry Cottage CL as members we have built our dream CL please take a look. 

EHU, 2 Hardstanding pitches, 3 grass pitches all level,  toilet and laundry room.  

Dogs welcome - dog walk on site and walks direct from site.  Dog friendly pub you can walk to. 

On main bus route but away from main road.  

All for £15 a night.

We currently have availability throughout the summer.  

Updating my SD. Just a couple of points.

On the opened section, 4 of the new ones are non EHU. Fair enough. Interesting that most opt for a fairly decent starting price of £8 whereas the Kent one chooses £12. (Always found the South East to be an expensive place to stay. Same as Anglesey.)

I already have Townend of Shutterflat in my SD. Did they leave and then rejoin? Finally, Tissington C&MH site has a couple of reviews that would indicate that they have been a site for some time yet. Did they also leave and have now rejoined?

On the Closed section Newbridge Park can be found under Tonbridge, but I already have it as closed.

WN, the closure of Newbridge Pk was in the July edition of the club's magazine, Townend looks as if it has reopened as I've it marked off as being closed in May on CT. It sometimes happen that sites that appear to have just opened have in fact come up on a search and have been open for a short while before publication and have had visitors during that period hence the reviews.The reviews could of course have been done by friends of the site owner, as well as being members of the CC, and have used the site before it has received official recognition and inclusion in the list, and only submitted the reviews once the site appeared on the web site listing.

Cheers Nell. I must have missed Townend being "closed".

Lot of CL closures in this months magazine.  Sad to see that Upper Bushford, Pembrokeshire is amongst them.  This was a lovely site a few miles from the Skomer embarkation point.  Stayed their twice last year

Yes, the CL network continues to shrink. When I first joined the then CC, it was IIRC about double its present size.

Couldn’t agree more Cyber- for me 7 offgrid sites close and 3 open-  not good! The only plus was one in Norfolk near Holt and one in Dorset near Bridport. If we understood the reason for this shrinking perhaps we could do something about it. The club really should now get actively involved in promoting CLs and try to save this diminishing resource. I know that one of them has transferred to the C&CC because they were not happy with the ‘treatment ‘ they received from the club. The truth will out! 

From the "closed" section it may be worth googling the site itself, as in my experience some have simply left the Caravan Club and are going it alone.

2 examples are Fowberry Farm near Bamburgh and Low Hedgeley Farm both in Northumberland.
